I just spend a few bitcoins buy electrical goods online. The process is quite fast. I just wish the retailers do not cash in my bitcoins instantly. I would like them to keep the bitcoins, if they want to pay their employee with the bitcoin, it is even better. I also want them to pay their suppliers with bitcoin.
Most of them use automatic converters, so the moment you paid they change it for fiat. They don't need BTC variance, they would only lose money.
